translated from Spanish: Army Fraud Case: Rutherford accuses 10 defendants in Frasim ridge

The minister on the visit of the Court Martial, Romy Rutherford Parentti, issued an indictment against 10 defendants for military falsity, fraud against the Treasury and documentary falsity in the Frasim edge of the so-called Fraud in the Ejército.La minister concluded the investigation in this area and managed to prove in a first fact a fraud with a total of 409 invoices issued in the name of the General Command of the Garrison of the Army of Chile , between September 2010 and March 2014, and which corresponded to alleged operations with suppliers Frasim and Tecnometal with funds totaling $2,500,675,749 for non-existent services or acquisitions, lacking reality and support, charged to money from the so-called “Reserved Copper Law”. To execute the payment, third parties created supporting documentation such as receipt records, order orders to trade, comparative price tables and award minutes, which generated an appearance of reality and truth. Invoices and supporting documentation were usually submitted by hand and without formalities to the Department of Financial Planning (DPAF), a unit under the Force Support Command (CAF), where “account executives” defined the supreme decrees to which the expenditure was charged and then sent to the Army Treasury for actual payment. In the Army Treasury, they received special treatment quickly in order to obtain payment as soon as possible and to make transfers of funds to the supplier’s current account. Once the supplier received the payment, he withdrew the cash and deducted the Value Added Tax (VAT) and a 15% participation or commission gave the rest to an Army colonel who in turn distributed the money among the different officials who participated in the fraud. Second factIn a second fact 8 invoices issued in February 2011 for a total amount of $ 27,385,173 were filled for alleged sales or services provided by the company Frasim to the Army Force Support Command.Ideologically false invoices with supporting documentation also falsified were entered into the Department of Financial Planning (DPAF) , dependent on the Force Support Command (CAF), where they were received by a specific account executive who imputed the expense to a supreme decree and sent it to the Treasury of the Ejército.La Treasury made the payment of the invoices to the supplier who withdrew a part of the money and delivered $ 21,500,000 to an employee hired by the Army who in turn gave them to a non-commissioned officer and a corporal who prepared the supporting documentation fraudulent and processed your payment.
